The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership (IIRFL) has been borne out of the Institute for Radical Forgiveness, which was developed by Colin Tipping in 1997. In 2018, Colin chosen Godfrey O’Flaherty to be the Custodian and owner of the Radical Forgiveness work. Godfrey has bought all the Radical Forgiveness Intellectual Property, as well as the business of Radical Forgiveness, as a Global Enterprise from Collin Tipping.

Our Mission

The Institute’s mission is to raise consciousness through expanding forgiveness across the globe. The IIRFL is the official international body which will govern all the work of Radical Forgiveness, globally.

IIRFL Around the World

Radical Forgiveness has been translated into 9 languages across 51 countries. The IIRFL accredit and register coaches across the globe, to add to its already thriving body of coaches and students.

Additionally, IIRFL will continue to expand its global reach, as it recently set up the Africa Institute Affiliate for IIRFL. The Africa Institute will work throughout the continent in the field of forgiveness and as a bridge-building institution for individuals, organizations and communities.

The Future

Training and Development

Under the direction of Godfrey O’Flaherty, we are establishing a Centre for Research, to focus on coaching research about the impact of forgiveness and healing of the body, mind and soul. The Institute is in the process of refreshing our current Radical Forgiveness Coaching and developing other future programs, including:

revamping the existing Radical Forgiveness Master Coaching program;
developing an MSc program in transpersonal psychology, based on the Radical Forgiveness body of knowledge;
creating a Master of Art (MA) in Radical Forgiveness Coaching, which will be a step up from our Master Coaching Program; and
intending to develop Doctoral programs in those two fields in the future

The Colin Tipping Foundation

The IIRFL will house the Colin Tipping Foundation, in loving memory of Colin and his incredible work. This foundation will be a philanthropic organization, managed on behalf of funders. It aims to create projects and programs run under the Radical Forgiveness banner that will facilitate emotional healing around the world. Using the Radical Forgiveness methodologies, projects will include developing youth leaders, addressing gender base discrimination and guiding communities globally on dealing with social challenges. (Using the Radical Forgiveness technology, example projects include developing youth leaders, empowering woman and dealing with social challenges faced by communities around the world.)

Education

IIRFL seeks to play a more active role in the education space. We aim to equip the youth globally, especially from disadvantageous communities to deal effectively with the challenges these communities face. With this aim in mind we strive to contribute constructively to the emotional wellbeing of young learners, throughout the world. The Colin Tipping philanthropy foundation will fund these international systemic forgiveness projects. The mission of the Colin Tipping Foundation is to facilitate emotional wellbeing, living with awareness and resilience which will enable learners to embrace, advance and develop their full human potential.

Leadership Development

Finally, leadership development is also at the heart of the Institute’s future focus. With the IIRFL, Godfrey seeks to use his passion and experience in leadership development, by creating programs that will help leaders in communities, organizations and all walks of life to rise above their own egos and in so doing being released from their shadow that derails them from their purpose. In this way, the IIRFL aims to bring reconciliation and promote healing through Radical Forgiveness programs.

The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership looks forward to partnering with you on this personal growth and development journey

Preamble to Module 6: Stage #4 – Reframing the Story

Welcome to Module 6, which is the big one in the sense that it deals with Stage 4, Reframing the Story.

This is the element that marks Radical Forgiveness as something totally different, and radical in the true sense of the word. It turns everything we think we know about reality upside down. It asks us to go against everything that has seemed, up to now, to be the self-evident truth about how life works. It even seems to defy common sense. And your mind will tell you that it’s crazy.

What you’ve got access to in this Module is:

1 training video: Video 1 — The Radical Forgiveness Reframe
7 PDF files: Willingness is Everything, Binocular Vision, Framing the Event, Tapestry Analogy, Radical Forgiveness Bridge, Book Study Group Manual, and the Book Study Suggested Curriculum
1 Video: Tapestry Analogy & Perspective
1 PowerPoint Presentation: Two Worlds

Your Assignments for this module:

Watch the training Video 1
Download and become familiar with all of the resource materials
Read “Reframing the Story” starting on page 285 of the Radical Forgiveness eBook
Start your Book Study Group – Book Study Group Manual and Suggested Curriculum
(Note: You have the option of recording yourself doing a presentation for review rather than a Book Study.)

Take the Quiz
As soon as you have completed the Quiz for this module, go to the next lesson for instructions on how to complete your 3-Letter Assignment.

NOTE: At the end of this programme you will be asked to put together a Radical Forgiveness Book Study Group which you will need to run with 3 or 4 other people for a period of weeks. These should be people who have read the book and will be able to ask questions which you will attempt to answer within the group context. It’s important to start thinking about who those people could be. You will then also be asked to write a summary on your book study process or upload a video presentation of your book study group experience for review.
